Besides that, the mentioned players were not "free" before that news, were they? So he shouldn't be either if he is guilty. If not, that would of course be really sad. | ||

Even though it's hard to judge without knowledge of Korean society how harsh a punishment this is - in my country, having a criminal record (which a suspended sentence gives you) disqualifies you from a lot of jobs. Not only that, but I feel like the sentence itself is insanely harsh. Athlets who were caught using performance-enhancing drugs are punished less harsh than this in the western world, don't they? (I don't think a hard sentence is bad, just from a western perspective, it seems harsh) | ||

YoDa in his early 20s, BBoongBBoong in his late 20s and Gerrard in his early 30s. None of them fall under juvenile law. A bunch of unknown people where we can't tell. Life might fall under juvenile law if it ever comes to that. | ||

Obviously they're not allowed back competing so that in itself is perhaps the biggest punishment. | ||

From the prosecutor's report, it seems Gerrard acted as the middle man between the players and the people trying to get them to matchfix. I think for that he should have been punished harder. | ||

As a coach, his job is to protect his players from such influences. Instead, he introduced them to crime. Also, as he himself is not a pro and can't fix matches himself, what he did is basically the closest he could get to actually matchfixing. | ||
